6 cores are probably hurting more than helping as the game was written for a single core. Just because the computer has multiple processors that doesn't mean the program, in this case a game will use all of them if it does not have multi thread capability programmed into the game. Here are my slow game recommendations for Oblivion, Most will also apply to any game - except the specific mods that are Oblivion exclusive.

FO3/FONV do have threaded options, the question is do those options actually utilize those cores optimally.

 

As for your slowdown, assuming you're fully patched, you'll probably want to check up on the d3d9.dll replacement fix most people have been using to deal with slowdowns. Glad this should be the last Fallout on this Gamebryo engine.
